Practical Computer Security for Real People

Security Works Best When Everyone’s Involved — and Supported

Strong security starts with every person and every device

Monitoring and regular updates keep problems from becoming disasters

Good backups protect your business when everything else goes wrong

Ransomware and Other Threats: Why Awareness Matters

Most security incidents don’t happen because of a “super hacker.” They happen when someone clicks a bad link, uses an easy password, or skips an update. Criminals look for the easiest way in — and that often means taking advantage of small, everyday mistakes.

Good security is not just technology — it’s teamwork. With a few simple habits and the right support in place, most serious problems can be avoided entirely.

Four Simple Steps Everyone Can Take

1. Back Up Your Important Files

If something goes wrong — whether it’s a hacker, a storm, or just bad luck — backups let you recover without starting from scratch. We can help set up automatic, off-site backups and make sure they actually work when needed.

2. Keep Your Software Up to Date

Many attacks succeed because software is out of date. We help businesses set up automatic updates and regular patching so no one has to worry about it.

3. Lock Down Access

Fewer open doors mean fewer ways in. We help companies review who has access to what, remove old accounts, and make sure passwords and permissions make sense.

4. Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA adds a second step to logging in — like a code sent to your phone. It’s a small change that stops most attacks cold. We can help set it up across your accounts with minimal disruption.

How We Help Your Organization Stay Secure

• Security Baseline Setup — We configure MFA, backups, email security, and access policies so your foundation is strong.
• Monitoring & Maintenance — Quiet, behind-the-scenes checks to keep systems updated and alert you early when something looks off.
• Employee Awareness — We provide clear, no-jargon guidance to help your team spot and avoid common threats like phishing and scams.
• Incident Response Support — If something does happen, we help contain the problem, protect your data, and get you back up and running.
• Practical Documentation — We leave you with clear, human-readable security notes — not binders of tech jargon.

Your Role in Security

Every person who touches your systems is part of your defense. You don’t have to be an expert — but being aware and taking a few smart steps goes a long way:

• Use strong passwords and don’t share them.
• Turn on MFA wherever possible.
• Don’t click on links or open attachments unless you’re sure they’re safe.
• Report suspicious activity right away — a quick warning can save everyone a lot of trouble.

We’ll make sure the right technology is in place — and help you and your team feel confident using it.
